Ruth graduated from Waterloo West High School. Her life’s work was her family. She was a loving wife to Arnie and was a best friend to her daughters. She also helped to raise her grandchildren and she had a special place in her heart for her great-grandchildren. She was a long-time member of Zion Lutheran Church in Waterloo.
Survived by four daughters, Diane (Dave) Ostrem of Cedar Falls, Debbie (Steve) Wilson of LaPorte City, Julie (Tom) Schoville of Bettendorf, and Wendy (Mark) Halbach of Waverly; five grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren; Chris (Randi) Wilson of Waverly, Sgt.

To Ruth, her family was everything and there was nothing that was more important. Ruth treasured her husband and daughters and loved her sons-in-law as her own. They lovingly called her “Grannie” and “Ruthie Baby”. Known to her grandchildren as “G-ma”, the love she had for them was unwavering. She absolutely adored her two new great-grandsons, Jack and Parker. Ruth was known for her many talents. She made the best chocolate chip cookies, and believed that cleanliness was a virtue. She enjoyed her circle of friends that to her were also family. Ruth will be remembered fondly and dearly missed by all who knew her.
Ruth and Arnie met at a dance when they were young and continued to dance together throughout their lives. Today, she is with her dancing partner again.
Services will be held at Parrott & Wood in Waterloo. Visitation will be on Wednesday, October, 28th from 4-7. A private family service and burial will be held on Thursday, October 29th at 11:00. Service will be live streamed on facebook.com/Scott Schoville.
